Some health issues can put you at risk of suffering from gallstones. Dr. Michael Gonzalez Ramos, General Surgeon with Baptist Health South Florida, explains some of the risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes, rapid weight loss, and cholesterol-lowering drugs, among others.

Daily Mini Been is Here! What drugs can help against gallstone diseases? What drugs increase the risk of gallstone diseases? How to assess a patient’s risk of cholelithiasis? What advice to offer about dietary and lifestyle habits to a person at risk of gallbladder diseases? Important risk factors for gallbladder diseases, including gallstones/cholelithiasis and eventual cholecystectomy.. Women more than men. Increased risk with age in both sexes and all races. Although less common in African Americans, however, prevalence is increased in people with sickle cell disease due to hemolysis.. As mentioned before, native Americans have a high prevalence of cholelithiasis. It is thought to be due to the “thrifty” (LITH) gene. This gene promotes optimal caloric utilization and fat storage.. Obesity is a predisposing factor.. Rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery, for example, can lead to cholelithiasis.. Diabetes mellitus, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance are risk factors for cholelithiasis.. High dietary glycemic load with high intake of carbohydrates can lead to cholecystectomy in women.. Hypertriglyceridemia impairs gallbladder motility which in turn can result in gallstones.. Interestingly men with Hepatitis C virus have an increased risk of gallstone formation. Women do not show this risk factor.. Low carbohydrate diet, physical activity, cardiovascular system, and respiratory system fitness help prevent gallstone formation in women.. A diet high in magnesium, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats reduce the risk of gallstones in men.. Both sexes but women more than men benefit against cholecystectomy when they have high fiber, fruits, vegetables, and statin use.. Crohn’s disease increases the risk of gallstones. It is observed that almost one-third of the patients with terminal ileum inflammation have gallstones. These stones form due to a disruption in bile salt resorption. This disruption leads to the reduced solubility of the bile.. Drugs like clofibrate, octreotide, and ceftriaxone can cause gallstones. On the other hand, aspirin and other NSAIDs help protect against gallstones.. Prolonged fasting can result in the formation of biliary sludge, which may result in the gallstone formation if rehydration and refeeding are not appropriate.. Pregnancy, particularly in obese women and women with insulin resistance, increases the risk of gallstone formation.. Hormone replacement therapy increases the risk of gallstone diseases. Oral therapy is shown to have a higher risk than transdermal therapy.. .. .. .. .. .. #DrBeen #Medicine #cholelithiasis #risk_factors #pathophysiology #bloodbrainbarrier #lymphatics #immunesystem #brain_injury #MedLife #nursing #nursingLife #MedSchool #NursingSchool #NursePractitioners #physicianassistants #usmle #Step2 #step1 #nclex #mbbs #comlex #DrMobeenSyed

(HealthDay)—The quick weight loss that occurs after bariatric surgery seems to have an unintended consequence—a greater risk of gallstones, a new study suggests. Popov said the rapid weight loss is likely what triggers the gallbladder conditions, though the study did not prove that.
Victor said it’s also too soon to know why there’s an increased risk, but it could be because people are obese or it may be a technical aspect of the surgery that boosts the risk. TUESDAY, Oct. 9, 2018 (HealthDay News) — The quick weight loss that occurs after bariatric surgery seems to have an unintended consequence — a greater risk of gallstones, a new study suggests. The rapid loss of pounds was linked to a 10-fold increase in the hospital admissions for pancreatitis, gallstones and other gallbladder conditions. People who’d had weight-loss surgery were less likely to die, tended to stay less time in the hospital and their gallbladder disease tended to cost less to treat, the researchers said.
Dr. David Victor III, an American College of Gastroenterology expert, said it wasn’t clear before this study that bariatric surgery boosted the risk of gallstones and other gallbladder conditions.

David Victor III, an American College of Gastroenterology expert, said it wasn’t clear before this study that bariatric surgery boosted the risk of gallstones and other gallbladder conditions. Why is the risk for gallstones higher after weight-loss surgery? After weight-loss surgery, low-calorie diets can often interfere with the production of bile. Since bile helps break down fat, this factor causes the incidence rate for gallstones to become higher.

List of related literature:
Dieting and rapid weight loss, however, can increase the risk of gallstone formation in obese individuals—a population with an already increased risk of symptomatic and asymptomatic gallstones.
Although long-term weight loss and maintenance may reduce the occurrence of gallbladder disease, the risk of gallstone formation actually increases during the active weight loss phase.
Although the risk of gallstones decreases with a lower body weight, weight loss, in particular rapid weight loss, increases the risk of gallbladder disease because, as lipids are released from body stores, cholesterol synthesis increases, increasing the tendency for cholesterol stone formation.
Obesity is associated with a marked increase in the prevalence of gallstones, but, paradoxically, weight loss through either dieting or bariatric surgery is a risk factor for gallstone formation (Table 53.2).
The risk of developing gallstones after bariatric surgery appears to be related to the degree of excess weight lost, similar to findings in patients with rapid weight loss from very low-calorie diets [46, 48, 52].
